Which Would You Buy?

[Smowball]

We are going to treat ourselves to one of the following, we need all 3 but can only get one now.

1. New tv for bedroom, with bigger screen. Ours is so small I can barely see what is going on lol.

2.New bedroom blinds. Two windows. Current blinds slightltoo small so ight comes in round edges - very annoying in summer!

3.New Dyson(or similar) cordless vacuum cleaner. We have downstairs,upstairs and then loft conversion into another bedroom - so hoovering is a nightmare with my bad back.

What would you pick?? Am veering towards 2.........

snow ,think I need a coffee and a cake to decide ! Brain says 3 but I am tempted by1 - 2 isa no started you can buy a blackout blind for a few quid that would do the trick nicely.

I'd go for 3 to start with, TV's seem to be getting cheaper by the week so you might not have to wait too long to get that after. As for number 2, we've had summer and we're only a stones throw from winter.

[nannybooby]

that was 2 is a no starter

1. Is a luxury and can wait. 2&3 are practical items and I'd be torn given you insomnia and poorly feet/back.

On the basis that you go to be every night but only Hoover every now and then, I'd go for the blinds.

Personally, TV isn't a priority and since your works there is no rush to get another one. I would probably go with number 2.
If you go for number 3, keep your old vacuum upstairs so you don't have to lug it up and down the stairs. Mum has 3 vacuum cleaners (one on each floor!) and a handheld mini cordless Dyson thingy for the stairs.

I would go for 2. My experience of cordless vacs is there is a huge trade off between power and charging time, they either have a short run time, like the Dyson, or really don't clean well. A better option would be to buy a cheaper normal vac and leave it upstairs. You will get better suck and better value for money with a mains one.

Hmmmm, yes you are right about the TV I guess - its Mr Smow that wants that more than me. Blinds - well bedroom is very light and pale walls so at the min its light about 4 am - indoors! Hoover,was sort of hoping that with cordless one the teen smow might be inclined to actually do his room?? (who am I kidding!)

Xbox?? lol

[Buenchico]

For me:

Telly?
I watch hardly any, with most of that being on a 4" screen, which is fine for my needs. (Even my 'big' telly is only a 14" portable, bought for a fiver at auction).

Vacuum cleaner?
Er, what are they? Come to that, what's this 'cleaning' thing that people talk about?

Blinds?
Yes!!! I like my kip!!!

[albaqwerty]

black out blinds, can't be doing with getting me sleep disturbed.
A tv in the bedroom! Good grief, no, never.

So, number 2 for me.

Get young smow to hoover, problem solved for number 3.

[dave50]

You shouldn't have a TV in the bedroom, it gets in the way of other activities!

[pixie373]

Blinds. And get teen smow to hoover :-)

[Bbbananas]

Heart Amy's 1, head says 3.

[society]

I'm leaning toward #2 but I'm still thinking/deciding about #1.

[Bbbananas]

Offs, I hate this predictive sh1te..,

[Smowball]

Lol.

Ok Think ive ruled out 1. x

[237SJ]

I`d go for 3 and protect your back.
